The Library Novels & Stories

And why had he chosen this place to do it? As I step further into the library, I am enveloped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The soft glow of the light bulbs above casts a comforting radiance, illuminating the rows of books that line the shelves. The air is thick with the musty scent of paper and knowledge, and the gentle hum of whispered conversations and rustling pages creates a soothing background noise.

"Now go." That was the last time I'd seen him before Dain's forces had separated us in the chaos that followed. "We're here," Lena announced, jerking me from the memory. The library loomed before us, its classical facade scarred by time and conflict. Pillars stood like sentinels, some intact, others reduced to stumps. Steps led up to massive doors hanging askew on broken hinges. Above them, carved in stone, faded letters spelled out words partially obscured by climbing vines: "Knowledge Is Light."
